You will be asked to provide information about the citizenship or immigration status for all persons for whom you want to receive assistance. This information may be subject to verification by the United States Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS), and that the submitted information received from USCIS may affect the household's eligibility and level of benefits. For HCC, verification will be required if not available through electronic notifications.
For CCAP, HCC, and SNAP: if any of these persons do not want to give information about their citizenship or immigration status, they will not be eligible for benefits. These persons must provide their financial information to determine eligibility for other household members. Other household members may still get benefits if they are otherwise eligible. We will not share alien or citizenship information about non-applicants with the United States Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS).
For TANF: if an individual who is required to be included in the TANF household does not want to give information about their citizenship or immigration status, the entire household will be ineligible to receive benefits.
